O holy Emman'el! thy Myst'ry divine
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 O holy Emman'el! thy Myst'ry divine,
From Glory to Glory, on Zion shall shine,
The Myst'ry of God espous'd to a Worm,
Who neither had Merit, nor beautiful Form;
Yet rais'd to the Bosom of God, the Supreme,
She sings she is like him, yet does not blaspheme.
2 O lovely Emman'el! illustrious thy Grace!
The Beauties of Holiness shine in thy Face:
Triumphant in bliss, our Nature we spy,
And we, in that nature, join'd to the most High:
The Image express of the Substance of God;
His Brightness appearing by Water and Blood.
3 O sacred Emman'el! our Glory, our Joy;
In mut'al Embraces, which never shall cloy,
The Bridegroom and Bride, our Maker and we,
Perpetually live, as united in thee;
Consummate Salvation, reveal'd in thy Blood,
In thee we possess, with the Fulness of God.
4 O glorious Emman'el! Jehovah with Man!
With us is God present; (amazing the Plan!)
Perfection of Joy we now understand,
Whilst Rivers of Pleasures flow at his Right Hand:
We stand, when no higher our Notes we can raise,
In Silence, expressive of Wonder and Praise.
O holy Emman'el! thy Myst'ry divine

to Mary's home.

so I must follow where you are:
as you are light so must I be,
as you are peace,
be peace in me. Topics: Christ Incarnate Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus Word of God; Light Used With Tune: PEACE CAROL

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 844 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love,
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin, and enter in;
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel. Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
